Rosuvastatin Slows the Progression of Aortic Stenosis Caused by Hypertension Regardless of

Abstract

Background

There is epidemiological evidence associating cardiovascular risk factors with aortic valve stenosis. The development of aortic valve stenosis has been recently demonstrated in a hypertensive animal model. We hypothesize that treatment with rosuvastatin modifies this transformation.

Objective

To evaluate the effect of rosuvastatin on the development of aortic valve stenosis.
